On the beach next to the house, Harry sees the change of weapons (guns) for diamonds. A. Shepherd previusly alerted the police, who already suspected, and they arrest them.

About diamonds still today
Diamonds of War (or blood diamonds) are those diamonds from a war zone and sold, usually clandestinely, to finance the war effort.
In some cases, the United Nations had sanctioned the export of diamonds, arguing that fund armies facing legal governments or involved in serious violations of human rights, thus prolonging the conflict. In particular, drew the Angolan UNITA and the RUF in Sierra Leone diamonds as providers of war.
